Riassunto

Il talamo è un grande complesso nucleare di forma ovoidale situato nella parete del diencefalo caudalmente al forame interventricolare (Figg. 3.19, 3.20). Lateralmente, un sottile strato di fibre mieliniche, la lamina midollare esterna, divide il corpo principale del talamo dal nucleo reticolare talamico. La principale massa del talamo costituisce il talamo dorsale. Il nucleo reticolare talamico e alcune strutture adiacenti fanno parte del talamo ventrale(vedi in seguito). I termini talamo dorsale e ventrale derivano dalla loro disposizione topografica nella parete laterale del diencefalo durante lo sviluppo (vedi Cap. 2)
